BuddyPress.org

It can be changed by changing the ‘BP_HOME_BLOG_SLUG’ variable to whatever you would like, but it cannot be totally removed. You could do that in your wp-config.php file, or probably even in plugins/buddypress/bp-custom.php also.

You could essentially hide it by never linking to it within your templates too.

You cannot simply apply one Changeset and expect the entire BuddyPress package to work perfectly. Although that can work sometimes, you really need to apply all the previous Changesets up to that point.

Why, because since RC1 was released, there have been many bug fixes that additively could address your specific problem.

Read this thread and see if the issue you’re experiencing is the same. If so, go to the bottom for the solution.

How do I find my old posts/quetions in this forum?

To locate your forum posts, go to the main forum page and look for the link at the top that says, “You can also view your started and replied topics.”

I do not even see a CSS selector named “content” in the link you provided in the OP when I view the source.

If you perform a search on BuddyPress for that specific string, it comes up empty. If you search WPMU, there are over 40 files (no surprise) that have that string. But, wp-signup.php is not one of them.

What exactly are you trying to do?

The only potential draw back with that method Erwin, is that it adds the link at the end of the assembled navigation instead of giving you total control over it.

Something to think about, is that BuddyPress really does allow for per-theme blog setups.

The difference between:

http://delsolownersclub.com/

and

http://delsolownersclub.com/news/

and

http://delsolownersclub.com/mafdark/

Are all just smoke and mirrors with different themes.

You could really make any ‘blog’ of your website do whatever you want it to do, just like how the BuddyPress Codex is really just another blog.

Morpheus: “Do you think that’s air you’re breathing now?”

“Everybody lies.”

All you have to do is create a php file called “add_forum_to_menu.php” with the following code:

<?php

function add_forums_to_main_menu() {



$class = (bp_is_page('forums')) ? ' class="selected" ' : '';



echo  '<li ' . $class. '><a href="' . get_option('home') . '/forums"

title="' . __( 'Forums', 'buddypress' ) .'">' .

__( 'Forums', 'buddypress' ) .'</a></li>';



}



add_action('bp_nav_items','add_forums_to_main_menu');

?>

and put it in the mu-plugins directory. Make sure the “/forums” path in the above code points to your forum directory (mine is at http://www.domain.com/forums)

For all who are still having this issue. There was a bug fix 3 weeks ago that addressed this issue. See Changeset 1244. All widgets that come with BuddyPress were fixed with this revision.

If you are not running at least BuddyPress r1244, then you will still have issues.

Note: Custom widgets (3rd-party developed widgets), may or may not have implemented this bug fix. Therefore, if you are having translation issues with non-core BP widgets, you will need to contact the developer directly.

here’s the other…

Hi. just created 2 sites using buddy press

http://callcenterblogs.com

Okay, a couple of questions:

1. Which version of BuddyPress are you using?

2. What did you name the file?

3. Where did you place it?

This is how I did it.

I modified header.php in the buddypress theme AND the member theme.

There is probably a better way since the forums location is included as part of the integration, however it works, and you can use this principle to include a hard coded link to anywhere.

Find the bit of code that starts <div id="header">

The first bit is the routine to run the blogs page, the second opens up bbPress in a seperate tab.

`<?php if ( function_exists( ‘bp_blogs_install’ ) ) { ?>

<li<?php if ( bp_is_page( BP_BLOGS_SLUG ) ) {?> class=”selected”<?php } ?>><a href=”<?php echo get_option(‘home’) ?>/<?php echo BP_BLOGS_SLUG ?>” title=”<?php _e( ‘Blogs’, ‘buddypress’ ) ?>”><?php _e( ‘Blogs’, ‘buddypress’ ) ?></a></li>

<?php } ?>

<li><a href=”http://www.mypartyonparty.biz/forums&#8221; target=”_blank” title=”<?php _e( ‘Support’, ‘buddypress’ ) ?>”><?php _e( ‘Support’, ‘buddypress’ ) ?></a></li>

<?php do_action( ‘bp_nav_items’ ); ?>`

What I’d like to do is present the forums in the same way that is done on here (BuddyPress.org, ) that just needs a bit of thinking about…

Hope that helps

I\’m abit confused on this, is it a buddypress API or what?

However, go for it ,any ETA?

I have not used it before so I’m not endorsing this. But, FYI:

I smell iphone app in the works…

I have been trying to decide how to best deliver content to iphone users. I know most would be ok with the regular pages, but some want to feel special. The problem is my user base doesn’t have enough iphone users to warrent the extra development time for a free app.

Well, it seems like you have an issue, alright. Let’s go down the list once again:

1. You’re working with a current trunk of both WPMU 2.7.1_beta1 (current: r1725) and BuddyPress 1.0_RC2 (current: r1324)
2. You’re using an old copy of wp-config.php which you updated as appropriate. In other words, you did not use the wp-config-sample.php that came with WPMU 2.7.1.
3. You did a clean install of WPMU 2.7.1_beta1 by deleting everything, except your updated version of wp-config.php, and then uploaded the unzipped Mu files
4. You then launched WPMU’s admin screen. That worked with out any problems.
5. You then went to Site Admin > Upgrade and finished the upgrade
6. You logged out of WPMU
7. Next, you installed BuddyPress by:

• moving the contents of the unzipped BuddyPress 1.0_RC2 (r1324) to the WPMU plugins directory into a subdirectory called /buddypress/
• moving the /bp-themes/ directory out of the /buddypress/ directory
• placing the various themes in their proper locations

8. You then logged back into WPMU and got a blank screen

A few follow up questions:

9. You’ve enabled error reporting as detailed above by John and Burt and after step 8 above, there are absolutely no errors being reported of any kind.

A few thoughts:

• Since this seems to be a test install and you do not have any content that needs saving, I would delete everything once again.
• This also means deleting your MySQL table that you’ve been using for this attempt and starting with a brand new database.
• I would then download the latest trunks of both WPMU and BuddyPress once again–>get rid of the old ones first.
• I would then use the wp-config-sample.php file that comes with the latest WPMU trunk and configure as necessary
• IMPORTANT: I believe when I downloaded the WPMU trunk (r1722) and looked at the wp-config-sample.php file, it had a trailing space after the closing php tag. You need to delete this!
• Now, go through steps 1 through 7 again and let’s hope when you get to step 8 it works!

I don’t think you are seeing the errors that are happening. The error log is the apache error log for your webserver. In most cases the php errors and warnings get sent there.

You said you asked your host to give you a backup and got back all the old tables. Try installing wpmu from scratch. Start with a fresh database that is empty. Install and test wpmu with the new database. Then install and activate bp.

anyone else having issues with IE 6 and the “buttons”

i.e.

accept friends

deny friend

etc

– they all display far right and cause a big scroll bar..

– so the user doesnt know they’re their

(damn you IE 6)

Version 1.1. should appear shortly on https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/welcome-pack/. In addition to working with the latest BuddyPress, it also lets you specify more than one person/group as the default friends/groups.

Very nice!

I will investigate this for one of our projects. It could help with something we’ll be working on next month.
